The reading break is officially over. I can’t say it’s a really good break for me. Didn’t do much during the first half of it (other than reading 大唐雙龍傳) and caught a stomach flu in the second half. Still have some lingering effects now. Hopefully it won’t affect my 3 mid-terms this week…
Just saw SSAnt’s post about soccer on Friday. I’m ashamed to say that I’m one of those person who changed his mind in the last second. Yes, I do feel bad about it. But no, I didn’t flew airplane because I have something else to do. I wore the shorts all day inside my outfit so that I can save the time of changing after getting back home. But I was unusually tired as I was driving back home, so I figured that I should stay home.
I always try to go for soccer whenever I can. When I have doubts about whether I can make it, I always say “I can’t make it” (sometimes I did go after saying that). But no excuse, I made a mistake and told SSAnt that I’ll be late when he was calling, when I wasn’t sure about it. I am sorry about that.
The day before yesterday, I sat in front of the entrance of David Lam Library to have my chicken salad sandwich.
I was there because a) I didn’t want to go to the SUB to eat and b) I can look at pretty girls from commerce (and arts) there. :p
There’s indeed a few good looking girls passed by. But one thing I noticed is that they all look very similar: dyed dark brown hair, long jackets, and boots. Perhaps they just passed by me too quickly, so they look similar, or they are really conforming to some sort of “dressing norms”?
Happy Chinese New Year everyone. 
Okay, so it looks like the latest entry scared people a little bit. So I guess I should say thanks for the people who asked me about it and don’t worry about me.
I was playing around with the website that I build for use with my ECE friends (yeah, like I have the time). In the process, I was looking at the pictures from the Iron Ring, convocation, etc. and can’t help but to have a feeling of loss. Sure, those are happy moments (mostly anyway), but there’s the feeling of I didn’t do something that I should’ve done. I don’t know what it is though…
Is it because I didn’t go out with my friends on convocation night (I ended up playing Civ 3 at home, talk about sad), or is it because I didn’t get to know a girl better than I would like to?
Anyway, whatever those things are, they are the past now, and I can’t do anything about them nowadays.
I guess my rather unhappy mood nowadays began during last summer. That summer was rather up and down, with happy and unhappy things meshed together in a few months. And then when I come back to school, I look around and most of my friends are all gone…
I’ve had so many packages mailed to me, and I mailed out so many things this week, I thought I am in the logistics business……
Went curling with people at the HCT lab. I finally figured out how to score points in curling, and what is a hammer… Banged my knees against the ice a couple times, so I think it’ll be brusied tomorrow. Curling is somewhat different from bowling in that you need to control how much force you’re going to exert onto the rock (okay, this is sounding like a physics 11 question…)
Left at 11:10pm and went straight to soccer, but was too tired to go eat, hence I headed back home instead.
At around 6:15pm, when I just step out of Starbucks, a complete male stranger asked me if I can share my umbrella with him. Since he’s going the same way as me, I said sure. He told me he’s a MSS student who is also in my 443 class, but I’ve never seen him before…
But the real point is, how come there’s no girl (let alone good looking ones) ever asked me if I can share my umbrella with her? \ . /
Attended the Industry Night by the ECE club. It’s events like this that made me wonder about if I will ever succeed in business. I’m not the type of person who hold my hand out to shake hands with anyone who come into my path. I’m not talkative, and my English is bad (I am having a particularly bad English day I think, people had trouble making out what I said).
A lot of girls from EE were there though, there’s even some HK girls there, which was kind of surprising.
The conversation at the table really sounded like job interview. -_-” And two of the people ended up leaving without saying goodbye, which I thought was not very nice.
And yea, the last speaker’s presentation is like a summary of EECE 476.
Overall, the night is still quite alright. But I did make the mistake of driving to downtown instead of taking the skytrain. I was stuck on Burrard street for 20 minutes. Not to mention parking costed $10…
